He said these people are always hyping up these young Ugandans on social media while seated at home watching them get arrested.
There are so many young people who have been and others who are still in prison because of rioting. Most of them support the opposition political parties like NUP, FDC, DP and many others.
There are young people who were arrested during the 2021 general election campaigns and are still in prison.
They haven’t been released, and opposition political figures are fighting for them to get out of prison. There are others who just disappeared because police say they don’t know their whereabouts.
According to Hon Kiwanda, it is not right for these young people to be in prison. However, police and the government have to do everything to protect Ugandans.
He said before these young Ugandans start moving around disturbing the peace of the general public, they should first look at people influencing them. What they are doing for their lives.
Kiwanda told Ugandans that some of these influential figures even tell young Ugandans to riot while they are protecting their children in the USA and other developed countries.
“What concerns me is that these young individuals are being influenced by influential figures to engage in rioting. These people are always protecting their children taking them to the USA when there are such riots and poor young Ugandans are taken to prisons,” he said.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
